Most small transformers consume a few watts, say 5?


Where did that figure come from?

Given there are
8,700 hours a year that equates to 43.5kWHrs, which at 10p per unit
would be roughly £4.35


That pays for quite a few alkaline batteries at Poundland. Plus
batteries don't "buzz" in the bedroom above.


Batteries go flat. Usually at the most inconvenient time.
